[Bioperl-l] Fetching Fasta seqs from GenBank - Help request

Thanks Jason,

I installed the IO::String, then it is working fine now. However I have
a doubt, the "get_Stream_by_id" is returning me more than the "sequence
per se", what is it ? My script and results are listed below. Finally I
would like to save (in my local disk) the retrieved sequences as fasta
files... is there any argument for that ?

Thanks again, Alberto


#!/usr/local/bin/perl -w

use lib "/usr/local/bioperl14";
use Bio::DB::BioFetch;
use strict;
use Bio::DB::WebDBSeqI;
use HTTP::Request::Common 'POST';

my $format_type='fasta';
my $stream;


my $bf = new Bio::DB::BioFetch(-format        =>$format_type,
                               -retrievaltype =>'tempfile',
			       -db            =>'EMBL');
				  
 $stream = $bf->get_Stream_by_id(['BUM','J00231']);
 while (my $s = $stream->next_seq) {
    print $s->seq,"\n\n\n";
	}			  
				  
 	  
	  exit;
